Boogie Chillen No. 2 lyrics
by John Lee Hooker
Well, my Mama didn't allow me
Just to stay out all night long
Well, my Mama didn't allow me
Just to stay out all night long
I didn't care she didn't allow
I was boogin' anyhow
When I first came to town, people
I was boogin' down Hazel Street
I heard everybody talkin' about
Henry's Swing Club
I drop in there that night
When I got there
I say, "Yes, people, ah-huh-ah"
They was really havin' a ball
Yes, I know
Then I hollered
"Boogie Chillen'"
Well, I feel good
Like I thought I would
You hear that cat
On the harmonica?
That's the Canned Heat
I know you'll dig him
I was layin' down one night
I heard Mama and Papa talkin'
I heard Papa tell Mama
"Let that boy boogie woogie
It's in him
And it got to come out"
I felt so good
I felt so good
I wanna do the boogaloo
Yeah, yeah
Yea, yea
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
All night
Then I heard Papa tell Mama
"Let the boy boogie boogaloo
It's in him
And it got to come out"
I felt so good
I went on boogin'
All night
Hey
I was layin' down one night
I heard Mama and Papa talkin'
I heard Papa tell Mama
"Let that boy boogie woogie
It's in him
It got to come out"
I felt so good
What I boogie woogie all, all night long
Hey, hey, hey
I feel good
I felt good
That I thought
Just like I thought
Like I thought I would
I, I, I
I high
I high
I felt good
Like I thought I would
Like I thought that I would now
Come on
Then I heard Papa tell Mama
"Let that boy boogie woogie
It in him
It got to come out"
And I felt good
When I heard her say
I felt good
When I heard her say
"Let him boogie"
"Let him boogie"
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
I wanna boogie
I feel good
I high
I high
I high
High, high
High, high
A little higher
A little higher
A little higher
I feel good
I feel good
I wanna boogie
I wanna boogie
Alright, Alan!
You feel good
And you feel good
Like I thought that you would now
And you feel good
Hey, hey, hey
